[Pacific] [OSGeo Oceania] OSGeo Oceania - Call For Members

[John Bryant]

Hey Edwin & Mafoa, thanks a lot for the message.

Unfortunately, I think it's too late for this intake, I think all the work
has already been finished for this round. But we'll be doing another round
in a couple of months, and we will include you in that. Meanwhile, to stay
up to date on what's happening, please sign up to the Oceania mailing list (
https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/oceania) and check out the wiki
page (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Oceania).

Mafoa, I will look forward to when we kick off the next intake, and
formalising your membership then!

Cheers
John
